Anyone with a dominant right foot is usually this.Right foot forward and left foot back is known as a “goofy” stance. Just as there are fewer left-handed people, “goofy feet” are less common than those with a regular stance.
How do you know which posture you have?
The foot you usually kick with when you play soccer is usually your surfing stance. For example, you’re probably a regular if you kick the ball with your right foot. However, if you’ve never participated in a sport like this, grab a broom and start sweeping. This will be your usual position, regardless of which direction you are facing. Besides, the house will be clean.
Right foot forward is goofy; left foot forward is regular.
A person’s stance will not influence their choice of surfboard or how they surf.
